New Computer Model will help local authorities follow the green approach
Researchers in the UK have developed a new way to model on a computer the patterns of energy use and pollution emissions in urban areas. The new method will help local authorities to plan long-term strategies for reducing energy consumption and pollution. The modelling system is now being extended to include social considerations, such as... view more... (2001-08-30)
Bats recognize the individual voices of other bats
Bats can use the characteristics of other bats' voices to recognize each other, according to a study by researchers from the University of Tuebingen, Germany and the University of Applied Sciences in Konstanz, Germany. view more (2009-06-08)
Delft researchers unravel the working of the bicycle
For nearly 150 years, scientists have been puzzled by the bicycle. How on earth is it possible that a moving bicycle can, all by itself, be so stable? Researchers of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), working with colleagues from Cornell University and the University of Nottingham, UK, believe they have now found the ultimate model of... view more...

Math model predicts cancer behavior
Vito Quaranta clicks on a small black dot on his computer screen. The dot - which represents about a thousand cancer cells - begins to "grow," morphing into a mass with finger-like projections that looks like an invasive tumor. view more (2006-12-04)
Feeling anxious? Talk to a computer
A computer can effectively treat people with anxiety problems. view more (1999-03-26)
Weather Forecast Accuracy Gets Boost with New Computer Model
An advanced forecasting model that predicts several types of extreme weather with substantially improved accuracy has been adopted for day-to-day operational use by civilian and military weather forecasters. view more (2006-08-28)
Safer shipping by predicting sand wave behaviour
Dutch researcher Joris van den Berg has developed a mathematical model to predict the movement of sand waves. Sand waves are formed by an interaction between the tidal current and sand. view more (2007-07-13)
Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields. view more (2007-11-02)
A Computer That Can 'Read' Your Mind
For centuries, the concept of mind readers was strictly the domain of folklore and science fiction. But according to new research published today in the journal Science, scientists are closer to knowing how specific thoughts activate our brains. The findings demonstrate the power of computational modeling to improve our understanding of how the... view more... (2008-06-03)
Rapid Prototyping for the Operating Theatre
Bonn, July 5, 2002. The technique is tried and tested, and what's more: it is also fast and cost-efficient. That is why manufacturers in the automotive industry and engineering have been using Rapid Prototyping for years to produce prototypes from three-dimensional datasets. The Bonn-based caesar research center has now found new and exciting... view more... (2002-07-15)
The fight for the best quantum bit (qubit)
Our results give us, for the first time, the possibility to understand the interaction between just two electrons placed next to each other in a carbon nanotube. view more (2008-06-25)
Predicting the perfect predator
Garlic mustard has become an invasive species in temperate forests across the United States, choking out native plants on forest floors and threatening ecosystem diversity. view more (2008-02-14)
Air quality in West going south
By mid-century, air quality throughout the Western United States will deteriorate, according to a new EPA-funded computer simulation by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. view more (2005-10-07)
CT lung cancer screening no cure-all for smokers
Screening for lung cancer with computed tomography (CT) may help reduce lung cancer deaths in current and former smokers, but it won't protect them from other causes of death associated with smoking, according to a new study published in the July issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-06-10)
New Cornell study suggests that mental processing is continuous, not like a computer
The theory that the mind works like a computer, in a series of distinct stages, was an important steppingstone in cognitive science, but it has outlived its usefulness, concludes a new Cornell University study. Instead, the mind should be thought of more as working the way biological organisms do: as a dynamic continuum, cascading through shades... view more... (2005-06-28)
DNA Model Recognised As New Guinness World Record: Massive model seeks new home
The world's largest model of DNA, built at the Potteries Shopping Centre in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday 9 March, has today been recognised as a new world record by Guinness World Records. The 10.78 metre model, containing over 1500 atoms, will be on display at the Potteries Shopping Centre until 18 March, after which it will be seeking a new home.... view more... (2002-03-12)
Children and home computers: living up to parental aspirations?
Most parents regard supporting their children's education as a major motivator for buying a home computer. However most children are using them to play games. These are the findings of recent research, carried out by Lucinda Kerawalla and Dr Charles Crook, presented today, Thursday 28 June, at the International Conference on Communication, Problem... view more...

How to fight malaria by changing the environment
Modifying the environment by using everything from shovels and plows to plant-derived pesticides may be as important as mosquito nets and vaccinations in the fight against malaria, according to a computerized analysis by MIT researchers. view more (2009-01-29)
Music File Compressed 1,000 Times Smaller than MP3
Researchers at the University of Rochester have digitally reproduced music in a file nearly 1,000 times smaller than a regular MP3 file. view more (2008-04-02)
Man winks and the computer thinks
To some extent, computers can speak and hear. But seeing is another matter, for the instantaneous interpretation of film sequences requires the processing of huge volumes of data. Visitors to CeBIT can take part in a computer game as a virtual controller. For computer fans and cineastes, "Tron" counts as the forefather of... view more... (2004-02-26)
